What Sways Stays - Coastal Lyrical Lounge
Feel the Oregon Coastal vibes in this lyrically lifted float through dreamy clouds of remixed beats. The diverse lyricists include BlackLight on Another World is Possible, Lxor on Rhythm Rider, and the deep protest message comes through. Additional vocals from Aria Zoner, J'aime, and Leann Rhymes make for a lush backdrop like a beach sunset. With melodicas, fretless bass, ukulele, flute, keyboards, live percussion, and El Sturgo on guitar, this album reflects years of crate digging, and 2020 synchronicity. Gratitude to my family, friends, ancestors, and all Native Tribes. Album available everywhere, but here 'ya go.

Know Self - Downtempo Chill Jams
Know Self grew from years of jamming live "dj tag" sets with my friends, making it up as we went along, then coming back and listening and thinking, "hey, that jam could be a song". We have struggled to capture the chaotic beauty of our live sets while still giving structure for the listener to follow. These songs are usually about 15 minutes long when played live and have lots more live guitar, percussion, and sometimes even melodica, jaw harp, santoor, or tabla. Thanks to Mr. Johnson for songwriting, saxophone, flute and vocals, such a skilled musician who can play anything. Thanks to El Sturgo for wicked guitar, tight drums, and of course, studio and creative space for jamming. Thanks to Teri Cote for some drum samples also. We are all singers & players of instruments, chanting a new song. Link here for free previews and downloads.

Hanuramakwanzamas - Holiday Dubs
Familiar enough to sing along, yet unique enough to be unlike any holiday CD you have every heard. Studio remixes of holiday classics from every culture and religion from Jewish, Muslim and Christian, to Celtic and African. Winter songs of peace for the holiday season that will have your party bumpin'. If DJ Shadow or Thievery Corporation did a holiday CD, this would be it.
Jahfirm Sound System uses the latest analog and digital instruments to recreate sounds of yesteryear combined with post-modern downtempo beats. Prepare for an audio world trip through the Winter Solstice. Peace & Blessings.

Diverse Unity of One - Vinyl Dubs and Remixes
So much vinyl, you'll be sweating by the first track. Of course, since its a continuous dj mix, its kinda like one long track, inspired by the old mix tapes and crate diggers from back in the day. From Tascam 4-tracks to Technics turntables turned battle style, this album will take you back to the fuzz, scratch, and occasional skips of old records. All you b-boys and girls, get ready to bust some top rock, throw down a barrel roll, or just sit back, relax, and take a journey through sound. The original Jahfirm album from the lost mix tapes.
